- Drug Entry
- Infigratinib
Infigratinib is a pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase inhibitor. By inhibiting the FGFR pathway, which is often aberrated in cancers such as cholangiocarcinoma, infigratinib suppresses tumour growth.1 Cholangiocarcinoma is the most common primary malignancy affecting the biliary tract and the second most common primary hepatic malignancy.2 Infitratinib is a pan-FGFR inhibitor, as it is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of all four FGFR receptor subtypes.1
On May 28, 2021, the FDA granted accelerated approval to infigratinib - under the market name Truseltiq - for the treatment of previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma in adults with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or another rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test.5 The FDA later announced the final withdrawal of the approval of infigratinib for this indication on May 16, 2024: This decision was based on the sponsor's request due to clinical trial recruitment difficulties and commercial infeasibility in continuing drug distribution.6
